NTSB Report on Amazon Cargo Jet Crash Cites 'Late and Fast' Landing
The National Transportation Safety Board has released its final report on the fatal crash of an Amazon Prime Air cargo jet near Houston. The investigation highlights that the flight crew attempted a 'late and fast' landing, indicating a dangerously unstabilized approach. According to the NTSB, the first officer likely experienced spatial disorientation, leading him to abruptly push the aircraft's nose down. The report concludes that this human error, exacerbated by the high-stress situation of the unstable approach, was the primary cause of the crash.
